Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho 'enters race with Manchester United to sign Diego Godin'... just two years after the defender turned down the chance to join him at Old Trafford!

Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho is set battle with former side Manchester United for the signature of Diego Godin, according to reports.

Godin famously turned down an opportunity to join Mourinho when he was United manager two years ago, instead choosing to sign a new contract with then-side Atletico Madrid, which left the Portuguese fuming.

The now 34-year-old eventually left Atletico to join Inter Milan on a free transfer last summer.
